I understand what you're saying. My point, which admittedly my last message didn't make at all, is that "different shared realities" is not a new thing. The concept is what would have been referred to as "different cultures" throughout most of human history. Different art, politics, passions, fears, identities, and myths is what cultural variety is about. If you and I watch the same movies and listen to the same music and follow the same politics and share the same dreams and worries, I don't think it's reasonable to say that we are from different cultures. What is being described as a "shared reality" in this thread feels more like globalism and less like something obviously positive or worth protecting. I'm all for more cultural variety as an expression of individual differences.
